Mean field limit for the one dimensional Vlasov-Poisson equation

Maxime Hauray (2012/2013)

Séminaire Laurent Schwartz — EDP et applications

We consider systems of N particles in dimension one, driven by pair Coulombian or gravitational interactions. When the number of particles goes to infinity in the so called mean field scaling, we formally expect convergence towards the Vlasov-Poisson equation. Actually a rigorous proof of that convergence was given by Trocheris in [Tro86]. Here we shall give a simpler proof of this result, and explain why it implies the so-called “Propagation of molecular chaos”. More precisely, both results will...

Mechanisms of Cell Motion in Confined Geometries

R. J. Hawkins, R. Voituriez (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

We present a simple mechanism of cell motility in a confined geometry, inspired by recent motility assays in microfabricated channels. This mechanism relies mainly on the coupling of actin polymerisation at the cell membrane to geometric confinement. We first show analytically using a minimal model of polymerising viscoelastic gel confined in a narrow channel that spontaneous motion occurs due to polymerisation alone. Interestingly, this mechanism...

Medical image – based computational model of pulsatile flow in saccular aneurisms

Stéphanie Salmon, Marc Thiriet, Jean-Frédéric Gerbeau (2003)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

Saccular aneurisms, swelling of a blood vessel, are investigated in order (i) to estimate the development risk of the wall lesion, before and after intravascular treatment, assuming that the pressure is the major factor, and (ii) to better plan medical interventions. Numerical simulations, using the finite element method, are performed in three-dimensional aneurisms. Computational meshes are derived from medical imaging data to take into account both between-subject and within-subject anatomical...
